Classification Flashcards
2 classification of organic compounds
- Hydrocarbon
- Hydrocarbon derivatives
type of organic compound which is based to heteroatoms present
Hydrocarbon derivatives
type of organic compound which composed of carbon and hydrogen only
Hydrocarbon
3 types of hydrocarbon
- aliphatic
- alicyclic
- aromatic
compounds whose carbon atoms are arranged in chains whether straight or branched
Aliphatic
contain single bonds
Alkanes (C_nH_2n+2)
contain double bonds
AIkenes (C_nH_2n)
contain triple bonds
AIkynes (C_nH_2n-2)

Alkadienes (C_nH_2n-2)
compounds containing carbon atoms in a ring system
Alicyclic
alkanes arranged in the form of a closed chain
Cycloalkanes (C_nH_2n)
non-conjugated alkenes in a ring system
Cycloalkenes (C_nH_2n-2)
compounds containing carbon atoms with conjugated double bonds in a ring system
Aromatic
4 types of hydrocarbon derivatives organic compound
- derivatives containing oxygen

7 types of hydrocarbon derivatives
- alcohol and phenols
- acid anhydride
- aldehydes and ketones
- epoxide

- ethers
- carboxylic acids
hydrocarbons with one or more hydrogen atom replaced by -OH group
Alcohols (R-OH) and Phenols (Ar-OH)
attached to oxygen
hydrocarbon derivatives with two hydrocarbon groups
ethers (ROR)
cyclic ethers in which the oxygen is included in a three-membered
ring
epoxide
hydrocarbons with one or two
alkyl groups attached to C=O
Aldehydes (RCHO) and Ketones (RCOR)
an alkane missing one hydrogen
alkyl
hydrocarbons with the carboxyl group, COOH
Carboxylic Acids (RCOOH)
organic, functional group consisting of a carbon atom that’s double-bonded to an oxygen atom and singly bonded to a hydroxyl group.
carboxyl (COOH)
carboxylic acid derivatives with the hydrogen atom
replaced by an alkyl group
Esters (RCOOR)
carboxylic acid derivatives with the hydrogen atom
replaced by RC=0
Acid Anhydride
hydrocarbons with the hydrogen atom
replaced by one or more halogens
Alkyl Halides and Aryl Halides
2 Derivatives containing Sulfur
thiols and disulfides
